Welcome to Library Networking Group

The Library Networking Group is the electronic Meeting Space for libraries and the information profession.

The challenges raised by ever-changing ideas, fresh perspectives and marketplace developments are being met by us every day. The continuing need to develop techniques and skills that keep us abreast of change are leading us to new solutions that we need to talk about. The pressure to share our best practices and, more importantly, our developing thoughts have led to the creation of Library Networking Group on-line community.

The Group Web site provides a stimulating and fun variety of ways to share.

Articles about timely and compelling issues Networking Groups on topics you choose and groups you can run
Archives designed to capture best practices and procedures
Events to capture the colour & flavour of local programs that demonstrate your library's initiatives
Forums to share ideas that affect all types of libraries Books that pull together the ideas of you and your colleagues into projects and documents
Blogs to explore thoughts and ideas that are on your mind Webcasts that show how you promote your brand, your services, your programs
PODcasts that capture the current thinking of prominent library leaders Tried & Tested programs and book titles that match your needs and your audiences

More ways to share will be added as you ask for them.

"i have a thermos full of my favourite tea. it is making me happy." This is a message I posted to Twitter a couple of months ago. Yes, I am a tea drinker, and yes, having a thermos full of my favourite tea is tweet-worthy. But that's not what this article is about. This article is about what happened after I posted that update on Twitter.
